SMART MOVE SOLUTION respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly, securely, and transparently. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, why we collect it, how it may be used or shared, and the choices available to you when using our website or moving services.

By accessing our website, submitting an enquiry, requesting a quote, or using our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Collect Your Information

We generally collect personal information directly from you when you complete a website form, call or email us, request a quote, confirm a booking, or speak with one of our team members.

In some circumstances, information may also be provided by another person arranging a move on your behalf, such as a family member, employer, property manager, or authorised representative.

We aim to collect only the information reasonably required to respond to your enquiry, organise your relocation, provide an accurate quote, and safely deliver the services you request.

We will not use your personal information for an unrelated purpose unless you have provided consent or the use is otherwise permitted or required by law.

4. Marketing Communications

With your consent, we may occasionally use your contact details to send service updates, special offers, moving tips, or other information that may be relevant to you.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or contacting us directly.

Even if you choose not to receive marketing messages, we may still contact you regarding an active enquiry, confirmed booking, payment, or service-related matter.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We may disclose relevant information to trusted service providers or contractors when reasonably necessary to operate our business or complete your move. These parties may include removalists, drivers, storage providers, payment processors, website hosting providers, insurers, accountants, or technology support providers.

We may also disclose information where required by law, a court order, a government authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, property, or legal interests of SMART MOVE SOLUTION, our customers, or others.

6. Overseas Disclosure

Some third-party technology, cloud storage, email, analytics, or website service providers may store or process information outside Australia.

Where overseas services are used, we take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers that maintain appropriate privacy and security practices.

However, the privacy laws applying in another country may differ from Australian privacy laws. By using our website or services, you acknowledge that electronic information may be processed or stored through third-party systems located overseas.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical steps to protect the personal information we hold against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include secure systems, restricted access, password protection, trusted service providers, staff procedures, and secure record management.

Despite these precautions, no internet transmission, email communication, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured channels.

8. Storage and Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, manage our business records, resolve disputes, meet insurance requirements, and comply with legal or financial obligations.

When personal information is no longer required, we may securely delete, destroy, or de-identify it where practical and permitted by law.

Certain records, such as invoices, transaction details, service records, or legal correspondence, may need to be retained for a longer period.

9. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember user preferences, understand visitor activity, and improve the overall browsing experience.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the performance or availability of certain website features.

10. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, payment services, or social media pages that are operated independently from SMART MOVE SOLUTION.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or operation of those external websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of each third-party website before providing personal information or using its services.

11. Accessing and Correcting Your Information

You may contact us to request access to the personal information we hold about you or to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a request to protect your information from unauthorised access.

In some circumstances, access may be limited or refused where permitted by law. If this occurs, we will generally explain the reason unless we are legally prevented from doing so.
